Hilltops

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 NIV

One minute you're up, the next you're down. Humans are a fickle bunch and there's no way to know where the wind will blow them next. You've probably met one or two people in your lifetime who were truly people with dark souls. No matter what anyone did or said, they were negative, rude, angry and vindictive. As a Christian you would probably have pity on them, but more so you would be sad because you know their soul is lost. You shined as bright as you could but nothing changed them.

But I bet what you didn't know was how you changed those around you who were watching your actions. This is your hill top. People are watching you, especially if they know you are a professing Christian. They want to see what you will do in a crisis or tough situation.

Pray. This is where the pray without ceasing comes in handy. An open line of communication with god. But it doesn't happen overnight. It comes from time spent daily in reading and in prayer. You are the light on the hill. Lead others by shining brightly in all you do.
